Snowman tags

 Hello, a quick post with some tags to share. I bought a set of Woodware stamps, Bubble Snowmen at a craft show last weekend and had a little play with them to make some Christmas tags. They're really fun to use and very versatile. The set includes one snowman (centre tag) and lots of circles, heads and faces so you can build your own snowmen too. I need lots of tags so kept these very simple, leaving enough space to write a name on the front of them. I've used Polychromo  pencils to add some colour.

Christmas pudding...

 Hello. I made another card using the  Here Comes Christmas digital stamp set from Beccy's Place, this one features Comet who I think may have over indulged a little!  This one was also quick to make, I coloured the reindeer with my copic markers, fussy cut and used foam pads to attach her ( I'm sure it's a her) onto the top of the sentiment panel, the sentiment is also part of the set and made me laugh. I die cut some circles and holly leaves and made 3 little Christmas puds to match those on the DP. 

My Christmas card stash is growing nicely now, not too many left to make- then I have tags and gift card wallets to do...

Happy Birthday Sweet Stampin'

 Good morning, it's our birthday week- Sweet Stampin' is 15 this year!

We're inviting you all to enjoy the celebrations- just create a project with a birthday theme, make sure you include some stamping and click here to join the party.

My card was made for my granddaughter Ruby's 15th birthday so it seemed apt to share it here- she may be a grown up, sophisticated (no!) teenager now and tower over her vertically challenged grandmother but she'll always be my little Ruby Rabbit...and she still loves bunny rabbits!  I've used stamps from 2 sets of Rufus Rabbit stamps, coloured with copics, paper pieced the glittery heart and balloon on the larger stamps and added copious amounts of sparkle (Wink of Stella) on the stars and smaller hearts and balloons.

Blue Christmas

 Good morning, a new Challenge over at Crafty Catz and another Christmas card from me. 

This fortnight's challenge is kindly sponsored by

HETTY CLARE ART

The optional twist, chosen by Janet, is

Blue Christmas.

I used a cute sponsor image, Snowy Delivery, coloured with copic markers. The papers are from The Works, I've added die cut snowflakes and trees. The sentiment is stamped. 

As always there's plenty of inspiration over at the challenge blog, we hope you can find some time to play along with us this fortnight- remember the twist  is always an option, anything goes at Crafty Catz.

Thanks for visiting

have a good weekend

Chris

double D - winter

Dies and/or punches at Fab'n' Funky

 Good morning- hope it's not too chilly where you are! temperatures have dropped here and we've had lot of rain but not too cold...yet! It's beginning to feel a lot more like winter though, such a mild start to November just doesn't feel right. 

N'Eva is hosting our challenge at Fab'n' Funky for this fortnight - she has chosen a great theme for you - Dies and/or Punches.

I made an accordion card, such a simple fold but great for  layering up with pretty papers and die cuts. The papers are Studio Light from a 6x4 inch pad, beautiful but a bit small so I've struggled to use them but they fit card perfectly. I made 3 die cut tags using 2 layers of paper for each, inked the edges and added my die cut deer (TH Sizzix) I added some die cut foliage, a cord bow and die cut sentiment, was pleased with how it turned out. 

There's plenty mor to see over at Fab'n' Funky so do pop over and see what the rest of the team have created...and of course we'd love to have you join us.

Thanks for visiting

Christmas magic

 Good morning, I'm here with a reminder of this month's challenge at Stamping Sensations, there's still plenty of time to join in. The optional theme for this month is 'Make it Magical' but you can always enter using  the Anything Goes route.

 I made a little snowy scene using some older Lavinia stamps and two from the new collection, Annie and Edward and Street Light- my immediate thought on seeing these was Narnia. 

There are some fabulous Lavinia stamps prizes to be won this month- just hop over to Stamping Sensations Challenge Blog for details and to check out the fabulous creations from the rest of the team.

Thank you for visiting - have a good week.
